I think that if Jesus walked the earth today, He wouldn\’t attend a Christian school. I don\’t think He would wear a t-shirt that somehow adapted a secular look with a spiritual reference. I don\’t think He would dress differently than your Average Joe. I don\’t think He would attend \”church\” \”every time the doorsContinue reading “That\’s So [Christian] Cliché”

Trying to Out-Give God
Sounds ridiculous to try to out-give God, right? It is. But it\’s also fun to try! This past month we\’ve been trying to get rid of a lot of stuff, including a lot of Elliott\’s baby things he has outgrown. Most people would say to hold on to it all since we plan to haveContinue reading “Trying to Out-Give God”
Ouch…. Oh!
Growing hurts. When I was growing up [which didn\’t take long since I\’m only 5\’2\”] my mom used to tell me when I\’d have these strange pains in my legs or arms that they were \”growing pains\”. That always frustrated me because I expected to see some serious results after all that pain. Like, immediately! ButContinue reading “Ouch…. Oh!”
From the Archives: The [Not So] Glamorous Life
As I descended the end of the houseboat via a ladder with an 18 lb baby strapped to my chest, trying to balance and keep the flashlight somehow in line with my step in the pitch black night, I remember thinking, \”Oh my word. If our parents saw this right now, they would all have simultaneousContinue reading “From the Archives: The [Not So] Glamorous Life”
Dream On
When someone says they\’ve had a spiritual dream or a vision here in the States, what\’s your typical first reaction? More than likely you either A) write them off as a lunatic, or B) listen so you can make fun of them later and talk about what a lunatic they are. In our culture, weContinue reading “Dream On”
Anxiously Awaiting?
\”Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.\” 2 Timothy 4:8 Yesterday was not a very good day. Just one of those days when everything seemsContinue reading “Anxiously Awaiting?”
we probably could end world hunger… but…
I was listening to one of our local Christian radio stations the other day when I heard something that made me say, \”Hmmm…\” but not in a good way. It startled me. I missed the initial question asked by a listener, but from the answer it had something to do with how Christians spend theirContinue reading “we probably could end world hunger… but…”

God\’s Love Language
It\’s been interesting as we\’ve traveled around the Southeast raising our support and meeting people from every walk of life. Having been raised in a very conservative church my whole life, it was like culture shock for me when we stepped into our first Southern Baptist Church a couple of years ago. I wasn\’t accustomedContinue reading “God\’s Love Language”
Thankful Thursday: Bring on the Rain
We\’ve been back Stateside for 3 days now and we\’re still trying to get back in the swing of things. That\’s harder than you might think! I\’ve got a lot of blogging to catch up on from our trip, but seeing as today is Thursday, I figured I\’d continue with my cheesy but true \”ThankfulContinue reading “Thankful Thursday: Bring on the Rain”
